I loved these needles but unfortunately I ran into a problem with them. I ordered them in two different sizes and was very pleased with them at first. I knit a handful of lace washcloths with each pair but then I ran into a problem. The two needles rubbing together during my knitting has created a groove on each needle just behind the silver tip. The groove has gotten deep enough that my yarn catches on it each time I knit a stitch. I had to switch to a different set of needles as these were getting too frustrating to work with because of my yarn getting caught all the time. Maybe my style of knitting causes the needles to grind down and other knitters won't have this problem. It is a shame because I really enjoyed working with these needles but I would not buy them again because of this problem.

I fell in love with these needles immediately! I knit mostly with lace weight yarns and these needles size 0 are amazing. The points are perfect for picking up stitches and doing any type of stitch decreases, and the carbon fiber portion of the needle allows the stitches to move easily without being too slippery. Plus the lightness of the needles allows for a better feel of the light weight yarn. These needle are definitely my new favorites.
